vino Think about 1t.
GRAPEVINE, TEX, July 10. ls57.
To the Editor Of the Gazette:
This mornings GAZETTE was handed
me by one Of cur merchants with the re-
quest that 1 read your article on County
Roads, and answer If. l find it refers
only to the contemplated straight road
from Fort Worth to Grapevine, as located
by the surveyors, and that it is more in
the form Of an 'iatervieW" than an edt-
torial We are glad of this, because we
had learned TO look upon THE GAZETTE es
g fair organ, and inclined to be truthful.
To say that the representations IN that
article are false il the main and IN detail
is q truth that the interviewed, inter
viewer, end all others who may nave
been instrumental in getting it 40 eau
not successfully contradict. L IS false
hood upon the merchants OF this town
and the farmers OF this section.
In the first place, the objection 10 the
road is and E.s been almost entirely Dy
the farmers, snd principally oy The land
owners. 1t was . far mer and landowner
Uncle Billy Johnson WhO brought me
first protest petition TO town and got our
merchants and others 10 sign 1t. He, a5
well as others along the lie, represented
TO US that 1t would work great injury to
them: that they did rot want II, and
asked us es neigA5Ors and friends TO neIp
them out. We venture that no citlZ OF
the town Of Grapevine, merchant or
other, had anything 10 do with the pro
I test matter except ct the request OF tlCse
good old farmers, who were their IrleDus
/ and whom they felt it both pleasufa.and
! & duty to assist in anything they miEat
| ask, the same being reasonable. Inc
| farmers ssid they did not need II; ala
not want il; il would oe sn injury
| Gud called on US to help keep the tnlnS
! from being forced upon them. NOW lhl5
! is he true gist OF the matter, no more
| nor less, so far SIS our merchants were
concerned, and we can assure you that
they can't be bulldOZed into gong O2cA
I on their old true and tried neigh0ors and
friends by any such utteraLCes IS found
place in the article referred 70. This was
the case with both petitions, for there
we're TWO, and Uncle Billy Johnson car
ripd notl OF them around, Ind ne lives
over three miles from Grapevine, on the
! Fort Worth road. When be approached
US TO sign the same petition, We Eskeo
him what had become of the otaeE petl-
ton, and he said it had been ZOE 2h

THERE would be less complaint made
at the hot weather if people would eat
less end drink less. The total amount OF
food nee ed for repair, for growth and
for working is much less than is general
" imagined, and it requires, Of course,
much less food in summer to keep the
temperature of the body at its normal
condition than in winter. Some WISE
physician said that one-fourth of whGt
we eat keeps Us, the other three-fourths
we keep al the peril Of our lives. Eat
less and drink less, and you viii suffer
less from heat.

4 HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

our dispatches from Gainesville bling
US the report of 2 horrible murder and
outrage committed upon the persons OF
two Young ladies by burglars in that city.
In spite of the excitement occasioned by
the prohibition campaign people will
pause and ask themselves what can they
do TO ria the land of those murderers and
assassins. 1t may be that the perpetra-
tors of this crime shall be captured and
made to pay the penalty with their lives,
INT this should not satisfy our people.
The vicious system that breeds and fos-
tiers this class and all other
classes Of criminals should be
sought and removed. a thorough
Investigation will doubtless reveal the
fact that idleness is the father Of crime.
When q community tolerates the presence
Of a lot of idIers and loGfers in its midst,
it must expect TO suffer the consequence.
Communities owe it to themselves 10

not follow come legitimate and useful &C.
cupatlon, no matter what may be the re-
suit. The ragged tramp who buns
around back alleys teasting on refuse and
swiIIing in the dregs from beer kegs
should be ordered 30 go and
be driven from place to place
as scourge of society. TIE
vagrant laws of the state should be Sc
amended as to enable c2nservators OF the
peace TO investigate and inquire into INT
character of these idlers. Those whC
are found to be unworthy members o
society, no matter whet their color o
conditions, should not be allowed q
poster society. 1t is only in this wa
that communities can protect themselves
In the history CT crime there is one strant
running through from beginning 20 en-
which connects it together, and that
fdleness. 1t is seldom that men VIII

oped. When Valley View was reached
the telegraph operator there handed
Bony Tucker on the train as guard,
telegram from Gainesville, saying "We,ve
got your man" Tucker had gone with
ShipD to introduce him to the officers at
Gainesville. This wss sll the message

to the unearthing of deed
almost unparalleled in the strocity of its

THE SUPPOSED MURDERER CAUGHT
TRACKED THREE TINES TO THE SAME
PLACE.
The north bound Santa Fe passenger
carried to Gainesville yesterday morning
John Ship, son OF the worthy sheriff OF
this county, and the three bloodhounds,
kept st the county jill for Just such ap-
pslling emergencies as this. On reacn-
ing Gainesville he was introduced TO the
officials there, and with the dogs was
taken to the scene of the horrible
tragedy. He returned to the city last
night, and gave GAZETTE man brief
account of the day. The dogs, he said,
being taken to the room where the out
rage was perpetrated, took trail with
out any trouble, which they followed to
O house some 600 yards north OF the Bos-
tick residence. They were taken back 70
the room a second time, and again took
the same trail, carrying il to the same
house. A third time they were taken
back, with the sane result. This was
| deemed sufficient to warrant the placing
of officers to guard the house.
